Overview

While 56% of all Americans go online, only 15% of Americans over the age of 65 have access to the Internet. Wired seniors are more likely than their offline peers to be married, highly educated, and enjoying relatively high retirement incomes. More senior men than senior women use the Internet. Wired seniors are devoted Internet users – 69% of wired seniors go online on a typical day, compared to 56% of all Internet users. The top Internet interests among seniors who go online include email, hobby information, news, health information, browsing “just for fun,” and weather updates.
